Lenovo Introduces a Convertible Chromebook

Computer manufacturer Lenovo announced its first foray into the consumer Chromebook market today: the new N20 laptop-style and N20p convertible multimode Chromebook computers.

These Chromebooks are designed to be simple and portable – the heaviest weighs in at 3.1 pounds, measures 11.6” by 8.34” by 0.70” and has a battery that lasts a solid 8 hours. And with the less expensive N20 coming in at $279, they’re designed to be affordable, too.

Both devices come with a simple Intel Celeron processor, an HD webcam, 16GB of internal storage (plus another 100GB in of space in the Google Drive cloud), Bluetooth 4.0 and WiFi. The big difference here is in the 1,366 x 768 HD display: The N20p has an upgraded 10-finger touchscreen that can switch from a traditional laptop mode to a 300-degree-rotated stand mode. It's the same multimode concept that's built into Lenovo's Yoga tablet line.
